My question is how to fix explorer.exe. Ever since I updated Windows 10 today it stopped working. I have to kill it in command prompt to use my computer. explorer.exe restarts every 3 seconds and uses like 50% of my i7 when it's running since the update.

(Copied from last thread)
So I've been going to the desktop threads kind of recently and I've been wondering, how do people get those really blocky, old-school fonts? The ones you'd see on older, 90s era computers? I ask because I'm a sucker for those and all the searches I've done for bitmap/rasterized fonts turned out to be unfruitful...Is it because they're running some form of the X Windows system?
Does your account icon in android show up on others phones or is it just local? I have mine set to something slightly dodge so yeah...

Here is your problem.
Upgrade to Windows 8 or 7.
Do faster network speeds on wifi router and extenders (e.g. ac1750 mbps) indicate better wifi range and performance?
I know about the antenna strength is the main indicator of range but i just want to be sure.
I am deciding between a AC750 and a AC1200 router
>>53765237
> Do faster network speeds on wifi router and extenders (e.g. ac1750 mbps) indicate better wifi range and performance?
No. And you also need the hardware on client side to benefit from these.
> range
That's power (use United States in settings, and you can use OpenWRT too where you crank up the power) + antenna (power, range).
> performance
Like router performance? That's the router's hardware.
But most of these "ultra gaming" routers have a solid inside.
But you can get a solid router for much cheaper.
Heck a simple 1043NDv3 does the job perfectly.
Posted this in the last /sqt/ an hour or so ago with no result, reposting because this shit is pissing me off.
As a preface to my question I'll give some information, I'm living in Australia on the NBN network, using VDSL.
Every night between 4 and 10 my network shits itself, the router will say it's connected to the internet and all that but no devices can access the internet. Whenever I power cycle the modem it takes like 10 minutes for it to restore internet access and that is a huge pain when I'm trying to play online games.
For just about all other times I either get packet loss or packets that are delayed, which once again gives me the shits when playing online games, seeings as upgrading to the NBN was meant to make my internet better, not worse.
I'll post some of the pingtests I've done so you can see that the delayed packets are very reqular, as are the lost packets.
It's definitely not due to needing ports open on my modem because it happens in all online games and even when I ping google.com (as you can see in the picture attached).
If anyone's had the same issues I'd be real thankful for some help with the problem.
>>53765485
So what's your question?
It's your ISP's equipment/cable/whatever.
It's not really something you can solve.
Once I had the same issue, it was some equipment in some far away switching station. Guy spend like 20-30 hours at my home and we tried to figure it out together what might cause it.
Then after he replaced every cable (that was much better quality than the one he installed after), he gave up and finally stated checking out the ISP's stations.
It was not even the closest one, but the second one... don't ask me what exactly went wrong, he just replaced it, came back, boom, the line was 100% solid, faster, no drops, no ping variation.

Was really hoping it wasn't that, means I'm gonna have to pay out the arse to have the connection repaired even though I pay to have a stable connection anyway.

>>53765581
>means I'm gonna have to pay out the arse to have the connection repaired
What?
Here you don't have to pay them a cent, they just come out, investigate, fix shit. It's the ISP's job to fix it's shit. Why would you pay for that?
It makes no sense...

The ISP I'm with is a big fan of charging you for everything, there's like a $500 fee to replace the copper going to your house.
>>53765607
well but how the fuck would I know what do they have to replace?
here they measure the signal strength first from the ISP's building itself, through the modem or something.
they check if the signal changes, variates, etc.
then the engineer comes out, he checks it again with some tool, from your room, then the house, etc.
and then they pin point the exact location of the problem and replace it.

Just go to ninite.com and pick all the shit you need, don't forget to install the appropriate browser extensions like ublock and https everywhere.

>>53766163
Try using a different file player, if you can skip to parts within those increments then it's MPCHC's problem, if not it's the vid file itself.

if switching players doesn't solve your problem then you'll need to reencode the video. get handbrake, install and run it, pick your source video, then pick a preset from the options on the right, then hit start.
I'm planning on buying a decent laptop, and hook it up to a 4k TV in my living room.

Maybe some games.

Which monitor would you suggest for 1080p gaming between these? 23" or 21" is the same

It is a known fact that float operations aren't associative due to rounding. That is, if a,b,c are floats, we don't know in general that (a+b)+c = a+(b+c).
I am surmising that this also means that the distributive law doesn't hold in the general case. That is, we don't know if a*(b+c) = a*b+b*c. What about special, often used cases, such as n*a, where n is an integer? Do we know that a+a+...+a =n*a?
Is there anyone here with some assembly experience who can clear this up?

Does this fucker actually do anything or did I just install a(nother) backdoor onto my toy? Anything that does similar (or even a hosts copypasta would do). I have tun the GWX control panel but like the idea of hosts level telemetry blocking
>>53766664
If by less noticeable, you mean "oh jesus what the fuck is that", then you are correct. Using any type of polish will smooth out the rough surface which forms part of the antiglare function, which will leave you with a nice, mirror reflective circle where the scratch used to be.

Nothing.
Everything is in USD. It's up to you what you list it at. You need to keep in mind that all your parts (CPU, mobo, GPU) are extremely outdated in many ways. Your only potential buyers are people who can't afford new toys, or somebody who needs an HTPC/spare parts. It honestly won't appeal to a whole lot of people.

Ok /g/ I got a stupid one for you.
I got this shit on the picture from an surveillance camera, and since I'm in need of a IR light, that just might be it.
Since I'm a nab, could anyone somehow get me the optimal voltage/amps for this baby.
So, classic IR leds, need voltage / amps to hook the whole thing as it is.
>>53768258
why not measure the voltage coming from the camera, where that was connected?

It's hard to actually damage the hardware, but you can loose stability. If you get BSODs run memtest, prime95 or anything to test stability.
Also you are better if you just adjust the max multiplier of CPU clock, MAYBE voltage if necessary, but I wouldn't recommend to try to OC ram, bridges or whatever else. This only lowers stability.

is DDR4 really worth the extra money over DDR3?
My hard drive constantly heats up and last night it caused a game to freeze.
Or I'm assuming so, anyway.
Speccy showed higher temps than other games, and it's pretty annoying with all the microstutter it has.
So I went to check my HD's health, but I'm not sure what any of these mean.
Is it fucked?
I was going to buy more RAM today, but I'm not sure if I have other priorities.
Anyone know how good 1024x758 is for the kobo aura 2013?
>>53771337
550w or 650w? Which one should be okay, knowing i'll eventually OC?
>>53771525
650 gives you headroom on the +12V rail for overclocking

how to forbid firefox play youtube videos in 720p and above (using the html5 player) ?
>>53771423
Yes.
It's on it's way out.
When, depends on how fast sectors are failing. But once it starts its always just a matter of time.
Thats what you get for buying Seagate.
lel
>>53771667
Those values mean shit if you don't know how many rails they have and the amps each line has.
>>53771423
I'm fine with it, I got this HD in 2008 and had no idea what I was doing.
Thanks.
Would you assume it's the source of the stuttering?
>>53771865
Don't know without more details. But it could be when it goes through the bad sectors. And each time it does theres the high chance it causes even more bad sectors.
You could try one program that does a true low level format, some bad sector are just due to magnetic errors on the surface, but be prepared cause that shit takes a very long time. HDD regenerator i think... it may work it may not...
but start backing up your shit immediatly that drive may fail any time soon
I'm not familiar with building stuff from ground up, so I have a real noob question, I got a cheap 486 (nostalgia wtf) and want to build a covox speech thing for it, mod trackers ftw, but I only have 10k ohm resistors, how to make use of 10k resistors to make one 20k resistor? A or B? Serious question. Please help, thanks.

Does anyone remember After Dark?
I want to have a clean desktop, but I am always saving images, from beautiful art and backgrounds to porno/lewd things.
Is there a way i can just drag and drop images onto the desktop, and let them appear in a random folder for me to sort later?
In C++, what is the difference between continue and break?
>>53764630
Don't post your stupid questions inside the OP, a lot of have "Windows 10" filtered to avoid pajeets.
>>53772779
>After Dark
Never heard of it, but I recognized that image, very iconic. Looked it up and sure enough it's super popular. I am actually feeling nostalgic thinking about the days of floppy disks.
>>53772843
continue skips to the next item, break exits the loop.
>>53770564
This question is stupid.
>>53772835
i'm in the same position as you
first of all, realize that you're probably never going to actually sit down and sort through everything if you keep saying to yourself "i'll do it later". set a specific date for it: say, once a week, every sunday afternoon.
alternatively, set up a directory hierarchy, and instead of saving and forgetting, spend a few seconds thoughtfully placing it and coming up with a file name. i have a folder for formulaic images, such as image macros and pepes, and a folder for lewd. inside lewd there is a folder for 2d, directories for specific women, webm's, etc.
a directory system is good up until you realize that an image may fit into multiple directories, for example, funny/lewd. here you have a few options. i saw an anon with a collection of pictures of a girl with *booru-like tags in the filename. for example, "bikini striped solo short hair blue eyes.jpg" you could also get a program like hydrus to manage your database. i would also recommend a program called search everything, which is light-years ahead of windows's built-in search.

What pdf/djvu viewer you use on your android? Is there anyhting better than Document Viewer?
>>53773001
backup your license, get a clean win10 iso directly from MS, format and install. Restoring from your current install will add the bloatware it came with so it won't work.
Also, consider an OS that respects your freedom.

How the FUCK do I install Anti-Adblocker Killer on Pale Moon?
I've installed Greasemonkey.
I've installed Ublock Origin (having to get rid of uMatrix) to subscribe to the filter list.
I cannot for the fucking life of me install user scripts.
I can see the fucking anti-adblock killer script. It takes me to a page with code ending in user.js, but that's it.
I'm reading there's supposed to be some kind of install button on these types of pages, but there's nothing!

Thank you anon. I have done it once. I categorized them myself, but you're right, I can't find stuff because there are no tags and I have to remember what directory they are in. I probably have over 50000 images and no way to categorize them. This sounds like a cool project. Is there any way I can find this other anon?

So my GTA V install suddenly started freezing up while the game world ag-loads into existence. Figured my hard drive was dying, since I was getting my usual full FPS when it wasn't freezing completely to load the world.
Ran crystal mark and got this, pretty bad, right?
>>53773071
Disable UEFI. How? it depends on your laptop/computer. Search the web.
Here's the iso download site. Get the iso of the version one you have currently installed. Burn it with IMGBURN or make a bootUSB with Rufus or any other tool you like.
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10ISO
BACKUP YOU LICENSE. I remember using this: http://joshcellsoftwares.com/products/advancedtokensmanager/
I don't know if it supports Win10 but if not you can search another.
That should get you started.

>>53773237
I moved my game install to another drive, that is much much older and only 160gb, and it stopped my issue, but I notice the LoD is still much worse than it was before, so I am sure it is something to do with the read speed of the drive, whether it is dying or not.
So what I've just done is move my game back to the original drive since I defragmented it since moving the game to the smaller drive, maybe that defrag will have fixed it.
>>53773260
I was thinking of getting a cheap 240gb Sandisk SSD for a couple games and programs, but I really wanted to wait for an actual need to, if this is still an issue on this drive, I am going to do it. Too bad GTA:O load times are so bad that that is the bottleneck of loading and not the drive, anyway, I won't even notice load times improve except for the initial game launch into SP.
>>53773260
>implying that result is comparable to a single, most likely 7200rpm drive
Thinking of upgrading to W10.
Does anyone have a guide for de-NSAing the thing?
>>53773263
F2 to enter BIOS
At Main tab, find the option "F12 Boot Menu" and enable it.
At Boot tab, find "Boot Mode" and change it to Legacy.
Hit F10 to exit saving changes
>>53773356
why would someone want to do that and go back into ancient times?
>>53773343
Don't use Windows 10. It's not an upgrade at all.
8.1 + Spybot anti-beacon (and Classic Shell maybe) is the least shitty Windows at the moment.
Consider an OS that respects the user.
>>53773356
then after install i change those settings back
>>53773382
Because literally the only thing the latest UEFI BIOS does differently from traditional ones is imposing restrictions to the user. You want your devices to be actually yours.
>>53773403
It's not necessary, but go ahead if you want.
>>53773393
please stop bullshitting the thread.
>>53773477
>I don't like his opinions so they must be bullshit

Seems fixed, still worried about the drive for that to have happened out of no where after multiple restarts, I thought fragmentation wasn't that big of a deal these days, I guess NTFS is still terrible.

It won't boot if you install in legacy mode but boot later in UEFI mode

Or if thats too hard for the typical win10 user, you install speccy

windows 10 cannot be reliably de-botnetted from the OS itself. Spybot anti-beacon will get rid of some of it, but a lot of it is baked into system level services, etc that can't be fully disabled without breaking system functionality. The only reliable way to fully block the spying is through a router firewall, and there are (potentially) millions of domains that would need to be constantly monitored and blocked to get a fully exhaustive list.
The hosts file in windows 10 is no longer a reliable method of blocking network traffic.
If you care about stability at all, I wouldn't even recommend 10. Microshit cut back on it's QA department heavily, since the OS is """free""" and updates/telemetry are forced.
Windows 7 is stable as fuck and supported until 2020. Windows 8.1 is supported until 2023 if you don't mind a bit of tweaking and the horrible 2-design paradigm, as a trade-off for speed on older hardware.
